Bath Rugby can confirm that scrum-half Micky Young will leave the Club at the end of the season to join Newcastle Falcons.

Young has made 32 appearances to date in the Blue, Black and White since he joined in 2013 from Leicester Tigers.

"I'm sad to be leaving Bath – it's a great Club, with fantastic players, coaches, staff and supporters", said Young. "My focus remains on Bath for the rest of what has been a great season so far, but I'm also excited to be returning to Newcastle and am looking forward to the challenges ahead."

Mike Ford, Head Coach of Bath Rugby, added: "Micky is a talented player in what has become a very competitive position within our squad. I'm sure he'll be a real asset for Newcastle, and we wish him all the best there."
